Final thoughts on the 20 Biggest Winners of FY2024
Most of the stocks on this list are supported by strong revenue and earnings growth. However, when viewed through the lens of the P/E ratio, there doesn’t seem to be much value. Despite this, some of these stocks have consistently been top performers on the ASX for years and rarely appear “cheap.” The saying “cut your losses early and let your winners run” is common in investing. To truly embrace this approach, you must also be comfortable holding stocks that are sometimes significantly overvalued. While many of the stocks mentioned may have room to rise further, some charts clearly show that the trend has now broken down.
All in all, this is an impressive list of companies, a number of which are considered to be the best quality businesses on the Australian Stock Exchange. Some others are being backed to be future stars while a few of the resource companies have benefitted from steep rises in their underlying commodities which may or may not be sustainable.
